F&O Cues: Key support and resistance levels for Nifty 50

Nifty F&O action for November 11 expiry shows the highest put writing was seen at a strike price of 17,000.

After a long weekend, the Indian equity market is likely to open with a positive note. However, the future course of the market will be dependent upon FIIs flows, macro-economic data and earnings reports that are slated to come out this week. In a major global cue, last week US Federal Reserve left the rate unchanged and continued with its accommodative stance. This will have a positive impact on the Indian bourses. This was partly reflected during ‘Muhurat’ trading where key equity indices closed in green and Sensex reclaimed 60,000.
